Technical Glossary Category 5 (Cat 5) Network Cabling Category 5 cable is commonly also referred to as Cat 5. This cabling is available in either solid or stranded twisted pair copper wire variants and as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair). UTP cables are not surrounded by any shielding making them more susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
